Mini Sessions Made Easy

Our next episode of the Business Journey Podcast is live today and we’re talking about something that’s really personal to me: community over competition. This is one of those topics that needs to be talked about and really isn’t… and simultaneously, when talked about too much, can lose it’s meaning. There are so many people in our industry that preach “community over competition” but don’t demonstrate actions that back it up. I seriously believe in it and I truly want my groups, students, and followers to believe in it too! So, let’s talk about what it really means to believe in community over competition.

First off, I strive to create an environment that is supporting in as many ways as possible for my students. And one of the things I’m most proud of is my Facebook group for my students. With Behind the Lens open for enrollment, it’s the easiest way to be added to this group. I’m so proud to hear my students rave about the empowering community we’ve created, and I hope you can join us too!

The first part of this idea is having an abundance mindset. We don’t need to be jealous or upset about those around us who do well. Instead, we have to truly believe and know that there ARE enough clients for all of us! We don’t need to hide in our shells and guard our secrets, because there are plenty of people to serve. And I honestly believe that – and that everyone’s ideal client is out there. And NOT every client is the person you’re meant to serve. So why wouldn’t you want to send them to someone who is the perfect match?! And not only that, but just because someone else is succeeding doesn’t mean that you won’t. Read that again, seriously!

Being part of a group that values community over competition means elevating others. Even if they are “your competition.” Remember what I just said about ideal clients? If you KNOW that you aren’t going to be the best person for a job, elevate or suggest someone else who would be. When I lived in Texas, I would always recommend another photographer if I couldn’t make the request work. In theory, she was my direct competition. And I may have lost some potential long-term clients to her but that’s okay! She seriously IS amazing and I had no problem sharing her name. And guess what? Something surprising happened – she began to do the same. If she couldn’t meet a request, she’d suggest me. THAT is the power of this community. Creating relationships that will elevate you and that you can elevate is a crucial part of community over competition. I TRULY wanted her to succeed!

Honestly, it seems silly to even mention this… but be kind. Building a community is about being kind and taking care of each other. Personally, I don’t understand how communities are built on bashing others – especially new photographers. We were all new at one point! Additionally, take the time to actually make connections and friends… not just a connection for personal gain. Just be mindful of your motives and make sure you’re taking care of the relationships and people around you.

When the idea of community over competition takes off in the right way, it can be SUCH an empowering and encouraging space for us business owners. I’m so grateful to everyone in my Facebook group who makes the Rebecca Rice Education group that way! We weren’t meant to face this road as entrepreneurs alone, so finding a good community is key to your success as a business owner, in my opinion. If we all do our best to create a welcoming environment, the world will change for the better.

It's Monday again! That means a new episode of the Business Journey Podcast has dropped and today we're talking about all the things related to an email list! I'm a HUGE believer that, as photographers, we should be utilizing our email lists to book more clients. Email lists are the perfect way to grow and build your audience, as well as continuing to serve your current audience. Today, I'm sharing four reasons you should have an email list as a photographer.

Before we jump into the why of an email list, I want to mention my favorite email software: Flodesk. In my opinion, it's the best one out there. It's beautiful, easy to use and kind of like the Canva of email systems! And, I even have a discount code for 50% off - for life! So definitely grab that and let's get started.

You might have heard this before, but an email list is really the only list of clients and potential clients that you own. You don't own your social media followers - sorry to break it to you. If your Instagram or Facebook page disappeared tomorrow, your email list has ALL of the potential clients you've connected with - and that's yours. If you 100% rely on your social media accounts to book clients, you're putting all of your eggs into one basket - and that basket could easily break. Email is never going to disappear, let's be real. So having a way to communicate with clients, no matter what happens, is important.

I used to get frustrated with my email list. It seemed like I was sending things out, but people weren't always opening them. Someone finally reminded me that just because they don't always open it doesn't mean it's not doing something! By having your name show up regularly in their inbox, you're staying fresh in those people's minds. It reminds your potential clients that you're there when they're ready to book!

Email lists are really easy ways to create exclusive experiences for your client - maybe discounts, first booking access, things like that. I call my email list my VIP list because I WANT my clients to sign up and be ready to receive information for me. You can use your email list to send out monthly tips as well as remind them when it's time to book for your next mini session. I use my list to find models when I need model calls, send out recent blogs they might find helpful, and early booking access. But whatever it is, take the time to help them via email - show them that you care and that you're thinking of them. All of this goes into making your client experience even more elevated!

Frankly, clients who sign up for your VIP list when they land on your website or book a session are READY to book you. So sending an email letting them know it's time to book will almost always result in sign ups. I know for me when I send out an email about new minis, within the hour, I've got 8-12 sign ups right away because people were waiting for it. They know me and trust me. They believe in my work and they're going to book a spot!

Honestly, I could come up with a million more reasons that email lists are amazing for photographers, but these four reasons you should have an email list sum up my feelings pretty well! I truly believe email lists are necessary for all photographers. I hope that you feel more confident about tackling your email list now, too! Seriously, the power of emails is incredible and I want every business owner to take advantage of them.

We're diving right into another epsiode of the Business Journey podcast today and this one's all about Pinterest for photographers! Pinterest is one of those marketing platforms that photographers tend to put on the back burner because it doesn't seem like a super big deal. But I'm a firm believer that all photographers should be on Pinterest. If you aren't, you're missing out on some huge marketing opportunities! These tips will be super practical and help you start your journey on Pinterest. And if you're looking for more tips, make sure you join us in Behind the Lens with Rebecca Rice - we've got a masterclass on Pinterest for this month as your bonus content!!

Pinterest is a search engine, not social media. It's not designed to connect us like other platforms. Instead, it's meant to be used for inspiration and to help drive traffic to your website. You won't probably book clients directly from Pinterest, and that's OKAY. Instead, use it to send people to your posts and website, which helps with your SEO! This helps tell Google your site is credible and worth sharing. It's a mindset shift, but an important one! Remember, the lifespan of a pin is much longer than a social media post - so it's worth starting a strategy.

When you first start out, figuring out what to pin can be difficult. But here's the thing: if you're blogging for your business (and you absolutely SHOULD be blogging!), you have content right there! Pin the images you include in the blog and share about the outfits. People will definitely search Pinterest for outfit ideas! Just make sure the images you share are linking back to your site - so that people go there to see the full post or tip you've pinned.

When I first started, I was terrible about keeping up with Pinterest. But now, I've learned to automate things! If I set aside one time a month to really focus on scheduling my pins, it works out way better for me! Currently, I'm sitting at about 1.8 million monthly viewers. That's people that are seeing those pins in their feed. I don't get traffic like that ANY where else but Pinterest. While that's a vanity metric, I did check on my recent clicks and I'm still hitting over 600 a month. That's GREAT for a month!!! What's even cooler is that if someone searches in Google for images, a lot of the ones that come up that are mine actually are from Pinterest - meaning that's ONE more way people are seeing my content.

Seriously, if you're not using Pinterest as a photographer, you're missing out! It's SUCH an incredible resource. It's one more way people can find you and it's free. Pins have a long lifetime, are searchable on Google, and will drive traffic to your site - which helps your SEO. It's a no brainer!!

PS.... If you want to see my full process for automating Pinterest, be sure to join us in the Behind the Lens with Rebecca Rice masterclass!

The first quarter of 2021 is almost over! We thought it was the perfect time to talk about quarterly planning and goal setting with Kat Schmoyer, a guest expert and business coach. On this episode of the Business Journey Podcast, we’re talking about how to create goals you’ll ACTUALLY achieve in your business each quarter. Whether you’re trying to reach a new revenue goal or have a new project to launch, Kat’s got some quarterly planning tips for you!

It’s tempting to want to do all the things. It’s our nature as entrepreneurs to wear all the hats and dream big. But when you start thinking about goal setting and achieving those goals in 90 days, you have to be realistic. Set goals and a plan you can actually stick with. Think long and hard about the time you have available and what you can do with that time. 90 days (a quarter) isn’t a long time. Be ambitious, but realistic so you can actually meet some goals! Setting yourself up for failure isn’t fun for anyone!

When you set goals for your business, think about the WHY behind them. A new revenue goal is great but does it make sense? Are you realistically on target to do that new number? And if not, that’s okay. Set something more attainable. Also think about the time you have available to chase this goal. Is the goal you're setting really realistic in 90 days? Again, we don’t want to fail! And most importantly: make sure that this goal is actually useful for your business. For example, it’s GREAT to hit 10K followers on Instagram but if it’s not increasing your sales or your bookings, maybe another goal is a better use of your time.

Whatever kind of goal you set, make a plan to check in with yourself throughout the quarter. This will help you know what you need to give your attention to. We recommend creating a schedule of checkpoints every few weeks so you can monitor your progress and tweak your plan moving forward. This means that by the end of the 90 days, you’ll really understand what you did (or didn’t do) right to help move the needle forward in your business.

Creating quarterly goals is a GREAT way to create actual change in your business and these quarterly planning tips are a good way to start. With some hard work and focus, you can totally reach those big dreams! Try to remember to work in small, reasonable chunks – moving forward as much as you can every day. You’ve got this!

Our most recent episode of The Business Journey Podcast is a GREAT one. We have two very special guest experts chatting about all things Instagram Reels for Photographers. For this episode, we welcomed Natasha Coyle and Stephanie Kase to chat with me. They’re both incredible photographers and are taking the Instagram Reels world by storm!

Stephanie Kase is an Ohio wedding photographer and educator. She’s been in business for almost 7 years and has gone head first into education for photographers. You can find her on YouTube, where she focused a LOT on marketing through social media as well as Instagram.

Natasha Coyle is a Charleston wedding photographer and educator. She started her business when she was 34, a stay at home mom, and has created a thriving business! She’ll tell you that early on, she knew she had to connect with younger brides and grooms. So, she started working on short form video marketing and fell in love with it!

Both of our guest experts saw their following go from 4-5k to over 10K in the last few months. While that is a vanity metric and not truly indicative of how well a business is doing, it’s still important. It means their audience is growing. Short form video is a great way to create CONNECTIONS – that become people in your audience who you can sell to. But, these videos really show off your personality and connect with people on a personal level.

Sometimes the connections you make in videos are more powerful than anything you can write. People want to buy from people. Showing up in an authentic way for your audience through video is super powerful.

When you’re first learning, I won’t lie, it can be a little time consuming to start to make Reels. But, Stephanie and Natasha shared a few practical hacks to make Instagram Reels for photographers a bit easier. The first seems super obvious but just save inspiration when you’re on Instagram anyway. If you scroll by a Reel you like, save it and then use it as inspiration later – reuse the sound or do your own twist on the challenge. Another super easy tip is to batch create your content. Spend one afternoon filming a BUNCH of video that you can use for the Reels, then share them more strategically.

And here’s a quick reminder: everyone wants to be polished and put together when they film video but short form video is about being more free and who you are. Messy buns included.

Remember the purpose of Reels. Create them so that they’re helpful to you. Going viral is a flashy thing when it comes to social media… But, it won’t grow your brand – make sure you remember that first and foremost. The connection you build is the goal. But it’s something we’re all learning how to do! They’re meant to be joyful and to share your personality, so have a little fun with them.

Natasha and Stephanie shared LOTS of great tips on Instagram Reels for photographers, so make sure you listen to the full episode for them all!

Today's podcast episode is something that's coming from the heart. I have so many friends and students who have reached out to me, saying they struggle with the comparison that comes along with the photography industry. It makes me SO sad. Because comparison kills so many things in our lives: joy, excitement, motivation, and so much more. I wanted to share three easy and practical ideas that help me with fighting comparison in the photography industry. I hope you find something helpful and bring back some of the joy in your life!

The first and possibly the biggest thing that helps fight comparison in the photography industry is a mindset shift. There's two big pieces here. First, try to focus on the fact that there are plenty of clients to go around. Every market is saturated. But every client is NOT your client. And that's a good thing! We all serve our clients differently and you want to attract the people that are a good fit for your business! And remember that every journey looks differently. Our businesses and our homes, lives, and clients look different. That's perfectly okay! That doesn't mean anyone is doing it "better" than you!

And, second: Remember that elevating someone else does NOT push you lower. It doesn't hurt you to cheer someone else on. And not everyone is competition. There are more than enough clients out there for all of us. These photographers around you aren't your competition.  Our hearts are healthier and happier when we support those around us - not tear them down. So here's a challenge for you today: cheer someone on that's killing it!! Celebrate the good stuff.

There's SO many places for photographers to connect online: Facebook groups, Instagram, education support groups, the list goes on and on. Just remember that community over competition really matters. While a lot of these online forums are great and supportive, there's plenty that aren't. If you're in a place that turns more toxic or even just FEELS toxic, say goodbye! It's not healthy to constantly live in a situation where you just compare yourself to others. Give yourself the freedom to leave a situation that isn't good for you. And seriously, this attitude MATTERS. We should be lifting each other up - not constantly tearing each other down.

(Shameless plug here, but I'm SO grateful that none of my Rebecca Rice Education spaces are that way! Everyone is super supportive and seriously amazing! If you're looking for a community like that, join us by becoming a member of Behind the Lens!).

A super practical way to make the comparison game a bit easier is to simply remove yourself from the situation whenever possible. For so many of us, we spend time online for our business... but we also spend it scrolling and comparing (let's be honest, here!). If it's really starting to bother you, it's time to remove the app from your phone. Or if that's too drastic, try simply hiding the person that you're struggling over and comparing yourself to. You can also "mute" them temporarily on the app until you feel like you're in a better space. This is your permission to let them go and step back from their account.

I hope that these ideas give you some easy and practical ways to fight comparison as a photographer. I know that it's hard - and it's ugly, and worst of all, it's everywhere. But you ARE a great photographer - and you matter. There is truly room for all of us!

One question I’ve received a LOT as a photographer and photography educator is how I “nail” the light & airy style in my photographs. So, today I want to share a few of my favorite tips to achieve the light & airy style in your portraits too! This will be a little more technical than our past Business Journey posts, but if you’re hoping to achieve a new style in your portraits, this is definitely the blog for you!

Before we get into all of the nitty gritty details, I want to remind you that I DO have Light & Airy Preset for sale in my shop! Now, remember: a preset isn’t the end all, be all, but it can be helpful when you’re editing! Now, onto the practical tips…

Believe it or not, a light & airy style is achieved IN camera – not through editing. Well, editing does play a little bit of a role but most of it comes from HOW you shoot the image. Find a background that allows a lot of light in your lens. That means staying away from dark brick, bushes, and thick trees. Focus on locations that bring a lot of light into the image. If you like the greenery, that’s great – just try turning your clients some so it’s to their side. You’ll be surprised how quickly a slight shift like that can change the light in your frame.

And… hint, hint: if you’ve struggled with how to pose a family or where to pose them, make sure you stay tuned…. on April 1st, we’re launching something really exciting! A membership for family photographers to see how I work behind the scenes ON a session!!! Make sure you keep your eyes peeled for more information on Behind the Lens with Rebecca Rice!

A true Light & Airy style has a white balance that’s true to color. So instead of intentionally warm or intentionally cool, my goal is to get skin tones as true as possible during a session. When I talk about metering, I’m talking about the little “ticker” you see when you’re showing. Between your ISO, shutter speed, and aperture, you’ll be able to achieve the look you’re going for. I use my EXPO Disc to help achieve the best possible white balance in camera and I expose my image for my subjects. You can read more about all of that here!

Although a preset will help you achieve the light & airy style, it shouldn’t be the only thing you rely on! That’s why I’m including it third on the list. I work hard to achieve the look I want in the camera and then when I go to edit, I use my base preset to get more consistency in my images. For me, the preset merely gives me a starting place to work my edits from. I apply my preset (one click!) and then just need to adjust the exposure, usually. And that’s about it!

The last secret I have is another editing tip! In Lightroom, you have filters available to you! I choose the radial filter to make sure everything around my subject is exposed enough. This is helpful if my subjects are perfectly exposed by the background still feels a bit dark. I use the filter on everything that isn’t my subjects and then up the exposure. It’s super simple! I walk through this process in my Shooting & Editing Course too!

Achieving a Light & Airy style is WAY easier than you think, trust me! Focus on getting your background nice and airy and then work through some of the editing hacks. You’ll be amazed at how quickly your images become the style you’ve always envisioned. I can’t wait to see your new images! And remember, tune into the podcast while you’re reading along for all of the in depth tips!

One of the questions I'm asked as a Nashville family photographer is any tips for posing families. I'm SO excited to tell you that today’s episode is all about my top family posing secrets. I'm dishing out my top THREE tips for you. I always want my clients to feel natural and relaxed and I never want to be the one freezing in the middle of my session. I've been there. Over it! Over the years, I've learned that having a few tricks in my back pocket creates genuine moments to capture, and way fewer awkward pauses in my sessions. I work with a variety of ages in my sessions and it helps with ALL of them, so trust me when I say these family posing secrets will help you, no matter who you work with!

When I say posing workflow, what I mean is a list of groupings or various poses that you’re going to hit from start to finish in your session. A workflow can help your session move smoothly and avoid any awkward moments for you or your clients. My posing workflow also includes MUST HAVE poses for every session - make sure you tune into the podcast to find out why that's so important!

Prompts are key phrases I’ll say or questions I’ll ask that bring out genuine smiles and memories for my clients. My goal? Getting real giggles and laughs out of my families, because there's NOTHING better than genuine emotion during a portrait session! During the episode, I share a few of my favorite prompts you can start using in your family sessions to get more real interaction. It's seriously my favorite family posing secret! And remember, even with younger kids, your prompts can become games - or things for them to do. These prompts are super easy to modify based on who you're working with!

Whenever I bring on a new associate photographer who will be helping me capture family portrait sessions, I remind them (just like I'm reminding you) that it's okay to take notes and keep them with you. Have them in a note on your phone or a piece of paper. No one is going to be bothered if you check over your list so you don't forget things. The longer you do this, the easier it gets. I promise!

On the podcast, I have the chance to answer a few other questions - like how to work with younger kids or teenagers during my sessions, how I start family sessions, and how I manage to capture portraits of JUST the parents. Make sure you take a listen - there's time stamps below to help you find these questions. Family portrait sessions should be fun - and NOT stressful for you or your clients. Over time and with practice, you'll develop systems to help make sure your sessions are enjoyable! And, if you're still looking for more posing resources, check out my Family Posing Mini Course!

Today we’re diving into more about mini-sessions and talking about the 4 reasons your mini-sessions haven't booked! Students always ask me why their mini sessions aren't booking! There's generally 4 main reasons that sessions don't book so let's dive into them! But before we do that, I want to let you know that the doors open for my Profitable Mini Sessions Course 2.0 TODAY! The doors have been shut for months and I can't wait to welcome everyone in again! Spots will close on Friday March 5th and won't open again until the fall, so make sure you grab a spot today.

Back to today's topic! I know that not booking your mini sessions can be frustrated, and it can make the whole idea of them awful. If you're not sure what you're doing wrong, this is a place to start. Take a deep breath - we're going to make this happen for you!

Whether it's the timing of the year or whatever's going on in the world, sometimes it's just not a good idea to have mini-sessions. For example, if it's 100 degrees in the summer in Texas, people aren't going to want to stand around outside, no matter how quick your session is. As we go into the spring, now's the perfect time for mini- sessions! If your sessions aren't booking, look at when you're trying to book them. Remember, the season does matter!

Mini-sessions are almost known for their themes in some photography studios! I know that my photography students work really hard on crafting themes, but we have to remember that people have to want to book the theme you create. Think about whether or not this is something people are going to like, want, or need. If you struggle with coming up with ideas for themed spring minis, I do have a free download with 12 Themes for Profitable Minis.

If you're not marketing well, you're not going to book, period. You can have beautiful images, the best themes, the best setup... but if you're not marketing well, you're not going to book. Your marketing plan can't just consist of posting online and hoping it works. You need to get in front of a larger audience!

Remember, for minis, you need to give yourself a head start. Don't just start posting the week before. Ideally, you should be sharing about your minis 4-6 weeks before they're on the calendar. In my Mini-Sessions Playbook, we talk all about why this is important! Basically, it is a step by step checklist that walks you through from like nine weeks out all the way and what you should be doing every single week. You need to get your name out there and that takes time.

Don't let these reasons your mini-sessions haven't booked discourage you! There's so many ways to make mini-sessions profitable - trust me on that. I seriously believe in the power of mini-sessions and I hope you will too!

Earlier this week, I hosted a Clubhouse call all about... you guessed it, mini-sessions! My students call me the Mini-Session Queen, which I just adore. And I LOVE being able to drop some knowledge for other photographers who are thinking about diving into mini-sessions. This Clubhouse Mini-Sessions Q & A was a chance for my students and other photographers to ask anything they wanted about mini-sessions.

If you aren't familiar with Clubhouse, basically it's a new social platform that's like a giant zoom call with audio only. People hop into “rooms” and either engage in conversation or just listen to the conversation happening. Right now it's only available for iPhone users, and is by invitation only. Needless to say, it's not easy to get into a room! I knew I wanted to be able to share our conversation with everyone that ISN'T on Clubhouse, so we recorded this especially for YOU!!

Make sure you listen to the Business Journey Podcast episode to hear all of the questions and answers... there were some really great ones! As you probably know, I 100% believe in the power of mini-sessions. I completely believe that you can build a profitable and sustainable business with them. Or, use them to supplement your income during slower seasons. Whatever your reason is to start planning mini-sessions, I hope this Q & A inspires you!

And if you're not sold yet on mini-sessions, make sure you check out my recent podcast episodes about Mini-Session Misconceptions. Trust me, this is a good one if you're hearing any of the lies in our industry about mini-sessions! I've also got some great tips to start planning for your spring mini-sessions, too!
